<p>I am living in hell. i've been battling through trying to decide between Northeastern University (boston) or CU-boulder (colorado) for the past few months now and i STILL haven't decided. i love both schools. i put down two deposits even though i should not have because i just couldn't make up my mind. </p>
<p>I like boulder because of it's easy-livin' lifestyle and the fun, relaxed attitude of the people. i love snowboarding which is another big reason. but i'm afraid that i'll get too into the social aspect and forget about work, not to mention a less successful future because people view it as a party/weed school and that's it. </p>
<p>i like northeastern because it's more prestigious (i know that shouldn't be a factor but hello, let's face it), it's co-op program is really good and prepares you for the real world and i love boston. i got into its Jan-Start program which means that i can only start in january. i'm not too sure if i want to go into it in the middle of the year because i will be missing the crucial time, the time where everyone is OUT to meet people.</p>
<p>PLEEEEEASE HELLPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE???????!!!!! i'm miserable, thinkinging about this every day</p>
<p>Is Northeastern really more prestigious? I dunno, at least around here most people have never heard of it, whereas everyone knows what CU is. CU is an awesome school, I love the culture too! Jan-start sounds like a pain. I’d choose CU!</p>
<p>Go to CU. It’s a great school.
Northeastern isn’t more prestigious.</p>
<p>CU really is a great school. I know all types of people (not just the party-goers) who love it there. Boulder, yes, is a little quirky, but I think it can still be pretty fun and cool. Go to CU.</p>
<p>I’d take Colorado…</p>
<p>If I had to choose between the 2, I’d pick Boulder, but that’s only because I REALLY don’t like the idea of spring-admit. Given that most of the other students probably will have already adjusted to college life and found their friends, you probably will not want to find yourself in such a situation where you have to start fresh while everyone is acquainted. You’ll also miss out on vital parts of the starting-in-Fall freshmen experience.</p>
<p>Go to Boulder… it’s still a good school and I’ve heard from the many grads at my HS who attend that although the party scene IS prominent, you can still balance social life and academia with good time-management and decision-making skills, as with any other college or university.</p>
